Menorrhagia- Basics, Symptoms And Natural Treatments

Every woman at some point of her reproductive life does experience prolonged and excessive menstrual bleeding. But women who face this irregular condition in almost every menstrual cycle are suffering from Menorrhagia and it is not normal. This condition is also sometimes called hypermenorrhea.

Menstrual cycle of every woman differs. But a normal one is that where menstrual flow occurs after every 21 days to 35 days. The blood that goes out is less than 40 milliliters. In some women the periods may be regular or irregular, pain free or painful, short or long but all this falls under the normal category. But in Menorrhagia, a tremendous loss of blood around 80 milliliters every day is evident.
